Modular, digital systems and plug &amp; play solutions are designed to simplify installation and operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Decentralised automation solutions are becoming increasingly important in the packaging industry. At interpack 2026, Murrelektronik will be presenting approaches designed to improve the installation, operation, and flexibility of packaging machines through modular systems and digital services. The Vario-X system, which enables a modular machine architecture with decentralised intelligence, is a key focus. The system is space-saving and flexibly expandable, suitable for various formats and cycle times.<\/p>\n<h2>Working with ATS Corporation<\/h2>\n<p>In cooperation with the Canadian ATS Corporation, Murrelektronik is integrating the Vario-X system with the SuperTrak Conveyance system. This combination offers a scalable plug-and-play solution that accelerates processes and minimises space requirements.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-3392723721\"><div id=\"packa-1195556430\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Digital support and risk minimisation<\/h2>\n<p>The uKonn-X digital installation support guides users through complex installations and commissioning processes, reduces errors, and eases the workload for skilled professionals. Furthermore, Murrelektronik is utilising digital twins to significantly shorten commissioning times \u2013 by up to 70 percent, according to the company.<\/p>\n<h2>Networking and Integration<\/h2>\n<p>With pure.IO, up to 256 I\/Os are networked, increasing flexibility and overview in packaging machines. The One-Cam-Connect package simplifies the integration of cameras into systems, for example for quality control. The MVK Fusion CIP Safety module combines standard and safety sensor technology in one device, simplifying secure installation in Ethernet\/IP environments.<\/p>\n<h2>Compact power supply<\/h2>\n<p>The MQ 15 connectors offer a compact solution for powering motors up to 7.5 kW and frequency converters.
